Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants will identify the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
